Well it's springtime in Oklahoma. This critter was found, by my wife, on the bathroom wall....she wasn't too happy. She also wasn't happy that I took pictures of it instead of getting rid of it. I finally did get rid of it when I was done. These scorpions are very common where we live. We have lots of rocks, boulders, and timber around us and see them all the time when the weather warms up. Scorpions are good though because they eat other pests like termites etc. The bad part is when they manage to find their way into the house. Our carpet is a sort of tan color which makes them hard to see. Fortunately we haven't been stung....yet.
I believe this is a Centruroides vittatus. Could someone please confirm.

Addition (09/04/2007) :
I did get stung on the forearm by one of these back around June. It was on the arm of my recliner, which incidently is also a tan color.
